Hello Mike, as I mentioned to the poster before you, my maid is going back for a holiday too. The agent says that upon returning, the maid will have to show the following documents 1. Passport 2. Work Permit 3. Insurance 4. Letter from Employer 5. KTKLN Card . The KTKLN stands for Kartu Tenaga Kerja Luar Negeri can only be applied by your indonesian maid in Indonesia. It cannot be applied here. So you must give specific instructions to your maid on how to apply for the card back home. Best to check with your agent. My agent says that the application can be done at the airport in Indonesia. I saw a post on the addresses where the application for the KTKLN can be made in this blog post but I do not know how accurate it is since the post is dated in 2011. As for the letter, I saw a sample in this forum which I intend to use. I hope that helps Mike. If your maid goes back before mine, perhaps you’d like to help by coming back to tell me about your procedure.

It’s the sick season now. my son just recover from a 5-day fever. now my turn coughing, after a bout of flu.
Take care, make everyone drinks plenty of water!!

Oh, Annie. I know I shouldn’t laugh but this is funny.

You’re the entrepereneur. Not, me!

Can anyone clarify the following:
1. Do I need to renew her work-permit at Malaysian Immigration for the 3rd year – at least 3 months BEFORE her departure?
2. Do I need to get a SURAT CUTI endorsed by the Indonesian embassy so that she does not get a levy upon her return?

Thanks. Much appreciated.

Hello Lilyana, I am also in the process of sending my maid of 4 years back for a holiday. I am not sure whether a SURAT CUTI is required but I found out from my agent that returning maids will now have to apply for a foreign worker card (KTKLN) which stands for Kartu Tenaga Kerja Luar Negeri. They will have to apply for this card back home in Indonesia, not from the immgigration offices but in designated places in Indonesia. Perhaps you would like to clarify this with your agent. I see that your maid’s permit date will extend beyond her passport date if you were to extend her permit, so you will have to get her passport done first before you apply for the work permit. Anyway, I am still in the process of gathering information before I proceed. It is best that you check with your agent. It would be good if you could come back and share with us what happens.
